00:02You
00:03The dynamic has changed dramatically now as the group stages turn into the knockout phase
00:10180 minutes three hours. That's all that separates winners from losers. There is no margin for error. It is now
00:18or never
00:21This must be amongst the favorite arenas of supporters all over the world. It really does have a very special
00:27feel to it
00:30Well, this is a noisier occasion all round. Everybody Jim knows what's at stake here. Well, Peter knockout competitions
00:36Require knockout mindsets. There has to be a more dynamic edge to the whole approach
00:42Whether from going ahead or replying to going behind
00:46This is when the adventure kicks in and you have to be mentally prepared for a more intense pressure
00:54If you did just miss it, we are up and running already
01:00Big chance
01:02For a moment time stood still
01:10Forward it goes questions were asked but he's given the answers
01:19Well, of course every year this is the point at which it gets really tough
01:23But just within the confines of this competition, but the season as a whole
01:27Yes, and we've seen many a team collapse over the years in this February period
01:31Mainly because of fatigue and injury, you know, it is a key time for squad rotation
01:47Absolutely thundering keeper no chance are the contact was fantastic right on the boot laces and it packed a lot
01:54of venom for what was a really potent strike
01:58For começ it's a great deal
02:01That is very important
02:03that is very important
02:05hood x4
02:05And witnessed it
02:06What was a kinest we had in this fight
02:11with me I'm
02:12a good I the
02:25going I'm
02:34Milan go ahead
02:35One goal to the good
02:39Gets into a dangerous position
02:43That's beautifully weighted
02:45And he's on his way
02:48Real chance
02:54Hoist it forward
03:03Moy plays it forward
03:05Caliguri
03:08Well weighted
03:12Keeper's ball
03:13Goes down
03:14But nothing given
03:21Some good play on the left hand side
03:24Now to profit from it
03:26Cuts it back
03:28Shoots
03:30Oh and they really should have been made to pay
03:32Well it was just some wayward passing
03:35That let the opposition
03:36In then
03:37And I have to say
03:38A very lucky escape
03:39You lose it there
03:40You expect to be punished
03:44Balls loose
03:45Who's getting there
03:49And it's played forward
03:55Battles to win it back
03:58It's a good run down the right
04:00Where could this lead
04:03Good defending
04:04Albeit from an unexpected source
04:06Well they say that your front lads
04:08Should be that first line
04:09Of stopping the opposition
04:10And I think he's taking it to another level
04:13With his desire to get back
04:14And help everyone out
04:19More than happy to take the muscular approach
04:22Whistle's gone
04:23That's a foul
04:37Tries to dink it in
04:38Cuts it out
04:43Played in with accuracy
04:45As Serbi
04:46Tries to get it forward quickly
04:48Chance
04:50In it goes
04:54A two goal lead
04:55And they're firmly in control
05:00Yeah looking back at that
05:02That's how you play on the counter
05:04Quick and decisive
05:05And ruthless with the finish
05:06I thought it was a stunning
05:08Stunning breakaway
05:34Milan
05:35Have a couple of goals
05:36Without reply
05:37It's 2-0
05:38That second goal
05:40Is such a polarising effect
05:41On prospective moves
05:43I mean
05:43One team are under
05:44More pressure now
05:45To get the next goal
05:46And the other
05:47Will fancy their chances
05:48Of turning two into three
05:54Gets on the end of it
05:56I think that's offside
05:58Yes it is
06:09Gets it upfield
06:13Gets it upfield
06:14Just brushed off the ball there
06:15Inlet brings the ball forward
06:20Has a goal
06:23Well that is rather wayward
06:25I'm not sure what he had in mind
06:27I don't think he knew either
06:35Good challenge
06:36He just stood firm
06:49And it's Caliguri
06:51Goes to finish
06:54It's off target and by quite a way
07:19It's off target and by quite a way
07:23Sparkling save
07:24Absolutely sparkling
07:25His reflexes were ultra sharp
07:30And it's played forward
07:41Going for goal
07:43He's got away with one there
07:54Great strength
07:55Too strong for his opponent
07:58Milan
07:59Get it back again
08:01Inlet plays it forward
08:08The defence can get it clear
08:11Well I'm not quite sure
08:12He needed to hold up play
08:14Quite as much as he did
08:15He's had a shot
08:18Just off target
08:19That's just plain unlucky
08:21There were many
08:22Me included
08:23Who thought
08:24That was going in
08:35Caliguri
08:38Drives it towards the front
08:39Oh he's going to be pulled back
08:41For that one
09:02Caliguri
09:04Caliguri
09:09Caliguri
09:10Tries to locate someone up front
09:16Rice
09:16Already of course
09:17On the score sheet
09:24Breaks on here
09:26Forward it goes
09:30Oh shooting chance
09:31Oh shooting chance
09:33Oh the keeper's done ever so well
09:35Well that was high class goalkeeping there
09:37To back up his
09:38His high class weight
09:40Gets it back
09:45That's been drilled forward
09:48As Serbi goes looking
09:53A great ball
09:57Oh great defending
09:59That needed doing
10:10He's good for it
10:11Well to put it this way
10:13He's probably made better decisions
10:21He's gone for a throw in
10:26The ball needed to be better there
10:28That's a wasted chance
10:32Brings it forward
10:34Caliguri
10:35It's on a play
10:36And a shot
10:39A decent effort
10:40As the first half
10:41Draws to a close
10:43Fantastic excitement
10:44Towards the end of the half
10:45There and a last minute chance
10:47That really should have been converted
10:50What do you think we're up to
10:51After 45 minutes
10:52Well it's looking pretty
10:54Straightforward Peter
10:55They've got themselves
10:56Into a very good position
10:57So why dither from here
10:59When they can repeat
11:00Their first half success
11:01With a
11:01Another show of strength
11:04Milan
11:05In control at half time
11:062-0
11:09The action has already
11:10Resumed here
11:19Rice
11:21And that is
11:22As far as they're going to go
11:27Looks to thread it through
11:29And he's cut it out
11:37Goes for the cross
11:39Danger averted for now
11:43That's a throw
11:52Rice
11:53It is quite a run
11:55He's made
11:55Goes for goal
11:56It's anyone's ball
12:01Hoists it forward
12:08And here's the chance
12:09To counter
12:13Rice
12:14With the challenge
12:15And he has given away
12:16A free kick
12:18There could be trouble here
12:20But for now
12:21The referee is
12:22Keeping his card
12:22To his pocket
12:34And they win it
12:35Back again
12:41And it's in luck
12:44In luck
12:45That's really nice
12:46Now what next
12:47And the finish
12:50Decent enough try
12:52His reputation
12:53Is better
12:54Than what we've just seen
13:10He's making good use
13:11Of his strength there
13:12Just refuses
13:14To be out muscled
13:16Good challenge
13:17He just stood firm
13:20It's a very good battle
13:21There
13:22Terrific to watch
13:27He's gone for it
13:29And the keeper's relieved
13:31To see that
13:31Disappear wide
13:32Look
13:33I'm sure you'll deny it
13:34Peter
13:35But the keeper
13:35Didn't have that covered
13:42Just brushed off the ball
13:44There
14:00Looking to hit the front line
14:03As Serby tries to get it forward quickly
14:09Well no question
14:10As to who's winning the battle
14:11In midfield
14:12At the moment
14:12Some very impressive
14:14Pressing
14:15In place here
14:18Battles to win it back
14:21Great strength
14:21Too strong for his opponent
14:32Good challenge
14:34He just stood firm
14:39Managed to get it away
14:46Rice takes control
14:48And hits one
14:50Oh that's a terrific save
14:52From the keeper
14:53Well what can I say
14:54Truly wonderful goalkeeper
15:01Gets it back
15:04Lobs it in gently
15:11Can't get the better of his opposite number
15:13Rice plays it forward
15:20Away from immediate danger
15:32Right towards the front men
15:35Pez United are stuck in central station
15:37And they might find the fast track out wide
15:40If they'd care to look
15:43Up to immediate
15:46Fence has got rid of that
15:50Gets wrestled off the ball
15:52Rice has given away a free kick
16:10Fattles to win it
16:11Back
16:12But looks a foul
16:13Yep, referee's given it
16:25Is it in?
16:27Yes, it's an own goal
16:32Oh, it's an unusual turn of events
16:34It was an honest attempt to help out
16:36And I suppose it can happen to anyone
16:40Fortuitous as it may have been
16:42They all count one
16:46Calicuri
16:47Castledine
16:49Calicuri
16:52Milan are clearly looking to kill this game off
16:55It's keeping the ball away from the other end too
17:20It's keeping the ball away from the other end too
17:27It's a loose ball, and it's Calicuri, oh he's in, Castledine, and that would have been game setting match, oh
17:37and a real chance to pile on the pressure, and he'd be desperate to get another.
17:53Finds himself eased off the ball, Pez United are definitely not going down without a scrap, their attitude just can't
18:01be faulted, gets the better of his man, Castledine has a hit, and yes it's there!
18:12And that should do it, within sight of the finish line.
18:22Milan are really pouncing on any straight passes in midfield, we're talking seconds from interception to the back of the
18:28net, it's counter attacking heaven.
19:05Milan take a two goal lead and are looking good for the win.
19:08Milan, hoists it forward, oh well intercepted, really alert to the danger.
19:20It's ruffled a few feathers, but well dealt with, and they've been, and the shots!
19:27Big relief, it just needed better contact.
19:31So here comes the substitution, yeah it's pretty obvious as to who was going to be taken off, his energy
19:37levels began to sag, and he was never going to last until the final whistle.
19:41In look, there's a definite fell there.
19:51In look, there's a definite fell there.
19:53Shot at goal!
19:56Oh great save, real class!
20:00The keeper really dug out his defence then, a magnificent effort.
20:05Just brushed off the ball there.
20:09Good running with the ball, can they build on it?
20:12He's found his man.
20:14Oh he's managed to get himself offside.
20:29He's got through!
20:30Gets into some space.
20:32Going through!
20:34Calicuri!
20:48That's just very well played, he can't hurt you with his back to goal, and he didn't go for the
20:53back heel.
21:02Confirmation that there will be four minutes stoppage time.
21:06Dashing forward at pace.
21:14That's a foul.
21:15Simple decision for the referee.
21:33He's had a goal!
21:35Oh, taken wins by...
21:39Deep, deep into injury time!
21:46What a clean hit!
21:48No one gets in the way of that.
21:50Yeah I just thought he'd make great use of his upper body there.
21:52It would have taken something really special to keep that out.
22:28We have got ourselves a game here.
